110
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: How did you become the lead? I've never been the lead.

111
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: I think Ralph's always been the lead singer of our group,

112
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: and we take pride in having such a great lead

113
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: singer like Ralph Tresvent.

114
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: He's smooth, he's he's.

115
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: He was somebody, he's somebody that he's sensitive on stage

116
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: and off stage. But this brother I'm talking about, this

117
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: brother can mispractice for the whole week, come in and

118
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: do the steps better than everybody that is that has

119
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: practiced that whole week. He will have all the dance

120
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: steps down, have his whole persona of what he's gonna

121
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: do on stage. He knows exactly what to do when

122
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: he hits that stage, and that's why we have the best,

123
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: best lead singer ever. Do you think there was any

124
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: ever any jealousy among bandmates.

125
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: I would hope not. I've never seen any jealousy.

126
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: They've always been supportive of me, and I've always been

127
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: supportive of them, and I think that's what kept the

128
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: bond with the group so strong. Well, you ain't tell

129
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 2: me why you got voted out. It had to be something,

130
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: It had to be something going on. Your wife would

131
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: not shaking her hands now, yeh, sum had to be

132
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: going on.

133
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: Hey, they booted you out the group. I was too wild.

134
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,480

147
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 2: don't miss shows now, and you unless I'm not well right,

148
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 2: let me ask you this. You go solo, what do

149
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: you think's the what's the worst and the best part

150
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: of a solo career? Or if there is such a

151
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: worst part of a solo career, there's really no no

152
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: downside to being a solo artist. I think you you

153
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: once you take control of your career. Once I took

154
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 2: control of my career, it was all upsides.

155
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: You know.

156
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: The music got better, the money got better. Not having

157
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: to split Yeah, your money, you split the five way

158
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 2: I got it off. Yes, So there's no downside to that.

159
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: How hard, because, like you said, you wanted to kind

160
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: of get away from kind of like the bubble gum.

161
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 2: So how hard was it for you to reinvent yourself

162
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: as an adult because for the most part, people had

163
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: only seen you in that group, and they had only

164
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: seen you doing Candy Rain and they only had seen

165
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: you do it mister telephone man, so that's all they

166
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: knew you from. So how difficult was it for you

167
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: to reinvent yourself to be taken seriously as an adult artist.

168
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: It wasn't that difficult once I once I got to

169
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: try it up issue and I started to really see

170
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 2: the crowd reacting to what I was doing. It just

171
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: made me feel stronger. And what I was what I

172
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: was doing when I was about you saw the crowd

173
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: react like that in the back of your mind as

174
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: you're performing, I made the right decision.

175
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: This is what I'm supposed to do. That's exactly what happened.

176
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 2: That it got into the back of my head that

177
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: if I didn't do this, I don't think I would

178
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: have I don't think that we would be still successful

179
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: if I hadn't went solo. If I hadn't, you know,

180
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 2: gotten put out the group and had to, you know,

181
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: find for myself.

182
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: You do realize it's not often.

183
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: You go solo boom, blow up Bill Bill Devout go

184
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: solo boom, blow up, raw boom, that it doesn't happen

185
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: like that normally. You get LTD, you get Jeffrey Osborne.

186
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: He does what he does, You get the Commodoors, you

187
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: get Litel Richie, he goes off, does what he does.

188
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: You get Harold melan in the Blue Notes, you get

189
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: Teddy Pindigrads. He goes and do it what he does.

190
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 2: But all the members were standalones. Once they had to

191
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: stand alone. You realize how unique that is, Bobby, did

192
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 2: you ever think about that, like, damn we had It's

193
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: like having Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

194
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: Damn that's what you had.

195
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, New addition, that's what New Addition stands for. It

196
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: stands for, you know, we are the supergroup that that

197
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: did the impossible. Yes, I can't think about the top

198
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: of my head that I'm looking at all these groups

199
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: that I named. I don't think when you go back

200
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: and look at him obviously en sync with you know, JT.

201
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: But when you go back and look at it, I

202
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: don't know if they had the success like individuals like

203
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: you guys had.

204
00:11:59,200 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: No one has done it.

205
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: Wow, that's the great thing about new addition. No one

206
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: has done what they have what we have accomplished. How

207
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: difficult is it to be a star. When you talk

208
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: about being a star, what.

209
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Do you mean? I mean the line being in the

210
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: lime light?

211
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: Being being in the limelight? Okay, you got it. Obviously

212
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: you got to produce in the area of what you're in.

213
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: So you're a singer, you got to be able to

214
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: come out with hit records. You're an entertainer also, you

215
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: gotta be able to entertain because some people I feel

216
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: that they're better entertainers than singers, and some people I

217
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: feel they can sing better than they can entertain.

218
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: But you were both.

219
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: You had to be both, and you had to be

220
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: lights out every single night that you hit the stage.

221
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 2: The pressure to keep coming out with these hit songs,

222
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: the pressure to perform at the highest level.

223
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: You can't have enough. You can't have an off night, Bobby. Now,

224
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: you can't by yourself. You can't. You can't. I think.

225
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: I think that's why I say work on your craft,

226
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 2: always practice on your craft. Always always be be mean

227
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: to yourself when it's time to rehearse, when it's time

228
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: to to get out there and do it, when it's

229
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 2: time to get in front of people, and be nice

230
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: to people. I've never said no to an autograph from

231
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: a fan, never ever. So you enjoyed the meet and greets.

232
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: I enjoy the meet and greets. I enjoy being recognized.

233
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: I enjoy every every, every part of it. Because it's

234
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 2: it's it's uh, who who pays my bills? They pay

235
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 2: my bills, Damn Boddy. What about when you're going to

236
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: sneak tip and you ain't want to be recognized, what

237
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: it is they recognize you? You have to you have

238
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: to go ahead and do it and say to make

239
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: sure they don't blow the cover. Right, let me ask

240
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: you this. Obviously, the cars were some of the worst purchases.

241
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: They probably wouldn't have been bad had you not left them. Yeah,

242
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: So what are some of the worst purchases, because now

243
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: you got you got this money. I mean, you're making

244
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: more money than you ever thought, Bobby, those were probably

245
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: my worst purchases. And the house in Atlanta, Georgia. I

246
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: bought this big in Alpharetta, about this big mansion from

247
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: I believe the porn king or the.

248
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: Once it was.

249
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: Owned by the porn king, and then it was owned

250
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: by the waterbed King, and then I bought it. And

251
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: it was just the worst, the worst money I've ever spent.

252
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: That bought the house, put like two million dollars into

253
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: the house, and then did not live in the house.

254
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: What just left it in my family, And it was

255
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: probably the worst purchase I ever purchased. You mentioned earlier

256
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: that you gave a lot of your money away. You

257
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: gave a lot of money to your family. You gave

258
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: a lot of money to friends before you realize. When

259
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: did you realize that?

260
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: You know what?

261
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: They're my family, they're my friends, but they taking advantage

262
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: of me. How far down the road were you before you?

263
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: I was all the way down the road, all the

264
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: way all the way in. You know, I don't regret it.

265
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: You don't know, I don't regret it. You know what

266
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: I've been through in my life, I think we're all

267
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: learning lessons, learning teaching moments that got me to the

268
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: place that I am. Now, what would you do different

269
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: in that situation? You got to say, I will place

270
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: you back, you know what you know now? And fifty

271
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: six I'm gonna play issue back in that situation? What

272
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: would you do different? I would put my family on allowances, Okay,

273
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: not unlimited budgets, huh. Not unlimited budgets. No, I wouldn't

274
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: just buy frivolously frivolous things, you know from you know,

275
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: spoil him, and I would just I would, I would.

276
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: I would take care of myself a little bit better.

277
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: You know.

278
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: I've been through so much, you know, as far as

279
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: you know, from drugs to alcohol to to just just

280
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 2: not taking care of myself, and I think I would

281
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: just take care of myself a lot better.

282
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: Is it true?

283
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: You once bought a store for a woman because her

284
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: boss mistreated her. Yes, and she owned the store and

285
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: then she had the bass start working with her.

286
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: Yes. What made you do that?

287
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 2: I saw how he was treating her, and I didn't

288
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: like it, and it was just a way of of

289
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: me telling, telling myself, I could change I could change

290
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: a person's life with just one check, one check, and

291
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: that one check. That lady owned that place for I

292
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: don't know how long, and she had the boss working

293
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 2: working for her.

294
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: Maybe she had him treated him, maybe she treated him her. Yes,

295
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: I hope so, I hope she fired him later on.

478
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: What the director wants from the scene, pay attention to

479
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: the script, and if they want you to go off script,

480
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 2: let you add lib a little bit, which Martin allowed

481

Speaker 2: that we shot. There was one scene where Martin wasn't there,

485
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: and it was basically me directing the scene. And it's

486
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: the scene where I'm in the club and I'm asking

489
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,600

00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: doing anything on stage. But now it's just like it's

522
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:16,240

00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 2: understand who you were? I had a good idea about

677
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 2: it after touring and doing all of the countries that

678
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: I basically toured from from Guam to Singapore to.

679
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean everywhere.

680
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 2: I went, every everywhere, and to know that people didn't

681
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: even speak my language and they could understand my music

682
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 2: and sing along with me.

683
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: That was something that that let me know that if

684
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: you've made it. What's it like touring overseas.

685
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: I hear a lot of people say, for the very

686
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: thing that you said, they don't really speak the language,

687
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: but they sing every single word.

688
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

689
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 2: And and if everywhere you go it's fifty thousand, they're lining,

690
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: they're chasing the bus, and they're lining the streets just

691
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: to get a glimpse, just to take a picture, just

692
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: to look at you.

693
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: What does that feel like?

694
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 2: That feels wonderful to know, to be accepted in the

695
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: eyes of the public and to be adored by millions

696
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: and millions of fans. It's the best feeling in the world.

697
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 1: You were so big.

698
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: You even dated Janet Jackson at one point. Yes, But

699
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 2: how did it make you feel when her dad says

700
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: she couldn't date a man like you?

701
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? Bops? That's what I

702
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: was thinking. That's what I was thinking. What do you

703
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: think he meant by that? Because obviously you're in the I.

704
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 2: Was a bad boy. I was the bad boy of

705
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: R and B. I don't falter, I don't fault anybody.

706
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: Hey, it was what it was for the time that

707
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: it was.

708
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: Is it true that you almost signed with Tupacs Macabelly. No,

709
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 2: that's not true, that's not true.

710
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: What about IRV Gotti?

711
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: IRV Gotti was a great friend. Him and jah Ru

712
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: had a great time shooting thug Lovin. But that's another

713
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: rumor that I was gonna sign with murder In that

714
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 2: was never No. So it seems to me at this

715
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 2: point you're more more want to be independent than be

716
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: with a label.

717
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: Definitely, what would be correct in saying that? Definitely?

718
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 2: So what's your relationship with ja Ru? He's a good friend, Okay, Yeah,

719
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 2: Why is he so misunderstood?

720
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: Job? I don't know Johzu's job. Cool. He's a cool cat.

721
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 2: I don't know why he's misunderstood because he had someone,

722
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 2: he had some of the some of the great hits. Yeah,

723

Speaker 2: he had a lot of hits, Yeah, a lot of hits.

724
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: You mentioned God who recently passed away.

725
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: I think he was suffering from diabetes and he ended

726
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,479
Speaker 2: up succumbing to that, to that illness. What your people

727
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: know about her? He was a special cat man. He

728
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: loved he loved music. He loved seeing people successful, right,

729
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: he loved that. He loved making sure that you got

730
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: your just due, you got paid. I think for the

731
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 2: video Doug Love and I got paid like a million

732
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 2: dollars to shoot it. And the top of that building

733
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: coming off that helicopter was the scariest ever in my

734
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: life because I'm so afraid of heights right that it

735
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,840

737
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 2: kinds of things going on, and I was just like,

738
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,800

739
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,440

841
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 2: this year because of the fires, right, we felt that

842
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 2: it would be really insensitive of us to try to

843
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 2: raise money for domestic violence at that time. But you

844

848

849
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to see any other families have to

850
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 2: go through what I've went through, or have to bury

851

853
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 2: I learned that life is it's a long road, but

854
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 2: if you stay positive and work hard, life can be

855
